That Tekin mod motor looks pretty good. 13mm rotor. Nice.

Has anyone figured out if it's a bad change to put the C hub tower on the back of the aluminum hub? I run mine in the back and spaced the ballstud forward with 3 .030" washers to put it only slightly farther away from the shock than factory... Hoping it's not making my link longer and adding traction to the rear end(i actually know it's longer.. it took almost a full turn to get camber back in spec after the change)

It doesn't make that much of a difference. I did and like it even better since it doesn't rub the shock body

I'll see if they make an even longer ballstud(silver or Ti), and add more washers so it's closer to OEM. Thanks though, glad to hear you didn't notice any handling change!
Edit: Gonna buy .400 Ti ballstuds and get the link closer to where it was, but without rubbing the spring.. Or switch to a short black ballstud and put the C tower back in it's original spot. Any reason not to do that? I've heard of guys using silver(tall) over the black(short) ones for some reason

FDR= Final Drive Ratio. Here is a chart to help you figure out what gearing works with different pinion and spur combinations.

The chart I attached is for Durango, but I am pretty sure the Internal Gear Ratio for the B4.1 is 2.6 as well.

Big Bore Tip

Can replace the bleeder O-ring with brass seals to help prevent leaks & pump up .


Losi bleeder screw kit contains the brass seal you need .

Thanks Cherry. nismomike posted earlier this week suggesting these. I have a few sets on order. I am glad to hear from more than one source that they do work
